LTC6992-1/LTC6992-2/ LTC6992-3/LTC6992-4 Pin Functions (DCB/S6) V+ (Pin 1/Pin 5): Supply Voltage (2.25V to 5.5V). This supply should be kept free from noise and ripple. It should be bypassed directly to the GND pin with a 0.1μF capacitor. DIV (Pin 2/Pin 4): Programmable Divider and Polarity Input. The DIV pin voltage (VDIV) is internally converted into a 4-bit result (DIVCODE). VDIV may be generated by a resistor divider between V+ and GND. Use 1% resistors to ensure an accurate result.

LTC6992-1/LTC6992-2/ LTC6992-3/LTC6992-4 Operation The LTC6992 is built around a master oscillator with a 1MHz maximum frequency. The oscillator is controlled by the SET pin current (ISET) and voltage (VSET), with a 1MHz • 50k conversion factor that is accurate to ±0.8% under typical conditions. I 1 fMASTER = = 1MHz • 50k • SET tMASTER VSET A feedback loop maintains VSET at 1V ±30mV, leaving ISET as the primary means of controlling the output frequency.

LTC6992-1/LTC6992-2/ LTC6992-3/LTC6992-4 Operation Pulse Width (Duty Cycle) Modulation Output Polarity (POL Bit) The MOD pin is a high impedance analog input providing direct control of the output duty cycle. The duty cycle is proportional to the voltage applied to the MOD pin, VMOD. VMOD 1 Duty Cycle = D = − 0.8 • VSET 8 The duty cycle equation describes a proportional transfer function, where duty cycle increases as VMOD increases.
LTC6992-1/LTC6992-2/ LTC6992-3/LTC6992-4 Operation POL = 1 forces a simple logic inversion, so it changes the duty cycle range of the LTC6992-3 (making it 100% to 5%) and LTC6992-4 (making it 95% to 0%). These transfer functions are detailed in Figure 4. 100 Table 2. Duty Cycle Ranges DUTY CYCLE RANGE vs VMOD = 0V → 1V PART NUMBER POL = 0 POL = 1 LTC6992-1 0% to 100% 100% to 0% LTC6992-2 5% to 95% 95% to 5% LTC6992-3 0% to 95% 100% to 5% LTC6992-4 5% to 100% 95% to 0% 100 VMOD /VSET = 0.
LTC6992-1/LTC6992-2/ LTC6992-3/LTC6992-4 Operation Changing DIVCODE After Start-Up Start-Up Time Following start-up, the A/D converter will continue monitoring VDIV for changes. Changes to DIVCODE will be recognized slowly, as the LTC6992 places a priority on eliminating any “wandering” in the DIVCODE. The typical delay depends on the difference between the old and new DIVCODE settings and is proportional to the master oscillator period.
LTC6992-1/LTC6992-2/ LTC6992-3/LTC6992-4 Applications Information Basic Operation The simplest and most accurate method to program the LTC6992 is to use a single resistor, RSET, between the SET and GND pins. The design procedure is a four step process. After choosing the proper LTC6992 version and POL bit setting, select the NDIV value and then calculate the value for the RSET resistor.
LTC6992-1/LTC6992-2/ LTC6992-3/LTC6992-4 applications information Step 4: Select RSET Calculate the correct value for RSET using Equation (1b). RSET = 1MHz • 50k = 625k 4 • 20kHz Since 625k is not available as a standard 1% resistor, substitute 619k if a 0.97% frequency shift is acceptable. Otherwise, select a parallel or series pair of resistors such as 309k and 316k to attain a more precise resistance. The completed design is shown in Figure 7.
LTC6992-1/LTC6992-2/ LTC6992-3/LTC6992-4 Applications Information ISET Extremes (Master Oscillator Frequency Extremes) Pulse Width Modulation Bandwidth and Settling Time When operating with ISET outside of the recommended 1.25μA to 20μA range, the master oscillator operates outside of the 62.5kHz to 1MHz range in which it is most accurate. The LTC6992 has a wide PWM bandwith, making it suitable for a variety of feedback applications.
LTC6992-1/LTC6992-2/ LTC6992-3/LTC6992-4 applications information Power Supply Current The power supply current varies with frequency, supply voltage and output loading. It can be estimated under any condition using the following equation: If N DIV = 1 (DIVCODE = 0 or 15): IS(TYP) ≈ V + • fOUT • ( 39pF + CLOAD ) + V+ V + • Duty Cycle + + 2.2 •ISET + 85µA 320kΩ RLOAD If N DIV > 1 (DIVCODE = 1 or 14): IS(TYP) ≈ V + • NDIV • fOUT • 27pF + V + • fOUT • ( 28pF + CLOAD ) + V+ V + • Duty Cycle + + 2.
